US teens not only love AI, but also let it rot their brains
Yeah, not shocking, but with other studies linking AI to weaker learning and mental-health risks, it’s a worry
Alongside TikTok and Instagram, teens have added ChatGPT to the mix. Pew says about two-thirds of US teenagers have tried an AI chatbot, with nearly a third using one every day. Negative mental-health warnings be damned!…

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

We executed multiple members of that crew.
